Passionate journalist, for over 10 years, I have carried out investigations, portraits, reports or interviews.

Since their separation in 2022, Marc Lavoine and Line Papin have taken very distinct paths. While the singer, who found love with Adriana Karembeu, spoke of her injuries with modesty, the novelist, she, after having thrilled on this ordeal seems to have now drawn a final line on their history.

How to overcome a break? How to mourn a lost love? This question, all those who have crossed this ordeal arise. Stars are no exception to the rule, especially those for whom the separation has been brutal. That experienced in 2022 Marc Lavoine and Line Papin probably belongs to this category. From the start of that year, the singer had mentioned it with covered words during a meeting with the magazine Paris Match. On the occasion of the release of his album Adult neverhe had told our colleagues to have “Crossing storms”. He also did not hide that his disc could be “Impressed with a certain sadness”. Between the lines, the reader could understand that his sentimental situation was no longer in good shape.

A few weeks later, April 28, 2022, it was Line Papinwho spoke in the columns of Figaro in order to promote his new novel A possible life. The journalist author of the article slipped to have carried out the author’s interview “In the small room that acts as a living room, office and kitchen in the Parisian apartment that she has lived in for a year”. A delicate way to mean that she lived alone there. In this interview, Line Papin had said more about the content of her book in which she told in detail these “Storms” of which Marc Lavoine spoke. In this case, a miscarriage and an abortion, suffered in the space of only a few months …

Did these events for their couple cause their divorce? They alone really know it. However, that in this beginning of 2022, a certainty was essential: it was over of the beautiful love story between the Franco-Vietnamese novelist then 27 years old and the 60-year-old singer.

The marriage between Marc Lavoine and Line Papin lasted less than 2 years

Marc Lavoine, who is celebrating his 63 years on August 6, 2025 had met Line Papin in 2016 in the studios of France Inter. He had interviewed her on the occasion of the release of his first novel, The awakening. Two years later, when the artist came out of his long history with Sarah Poniatowski, the mother of her three children (Yasmine born in 1998, novel in 2007 and Milo in 2010), the press revealed that the interpreter of Revolver eyes And the young novelist were together. In July 2020, during an intimate ceremony celebrated at the town hall of the 5th arrondissement, they said yes. But the contract will have been short -lived …

If, at the time of their separation, the two spouses were, as we saw, very discreet, The months that followed gave rise to exchanges by press or interposed books.

It is Line Papin who, from his sharp pen, launched the first. In his work published in 2023 and whose title After love could not be more evocative, she wondered: “What face do you wear when love ends? True love, the one that takes you by throat and upsets the lines of reality -Yei, that one. When he stops, how do you do it? “” I knew nothing other than write, every day. These words sprang from torn love, they draw lack, passion, loneliness, obsession … I wanted to look at the rupture straight in the eyewithout avoiding it or undergoing it. “

He threw me, struck the soul, to the point that I had a thousand scars on the body

Thus presented, there was little doubt that these poetic fragments – so that the work was presented – were above all autobiographical fragments which would allow him to pour out. And to describe, thanks to literature, and without ever calling the man to whom she alludes, the torments to which she was confronted. “”Formerly, I liked a man but he eaten me, he destroyed mehe was the object of his desire. The object of his desire, yes, I was no longer a being, simply an object. “” Then He threw me, struck the soulto the point that I had a thousand scars on the body »could we read in this work. “Never again leave a man damaging me like this.”

Line Papin writes about Marc Lavoine: “He loved me as no one knows how to love … “

If the subject is hard, Line Papin nevertheless conceded the strength of love that the singer had experienced for her. “”He loved me as no one knows how to love … “she wrote before spilling again on her sorrow. I send you three desperate words : ‘I miss you’. And they are, like the others, unanswered. Three words immersed in water. They are wet, they disintegrate like paper in the bath, they disintegrate, they disappear. ” The young woman concludes with these words: “I would like me to digest myself slowly and that I am missing ‘I am answered’ you too, I miss you too and I love you’.”

Unlike his ex-wife, Marc Lavoine did not use his art to answer. He also let speech more than a year before speaking to return to his story, on his past stories. It was in the show 50’Insidein June 2024. “When I get involved, it’s totally”he explained. “”So good, Sometimes it’s a bit complicated (…) Do we mourn? I don’t know, because I divorced three times. And I separated 4 or 5 times. We never mourn these things.”

Marc Lavoine turned the page with Adriana Karembeu

Mourning, maybe not. But turn the page, there is no doubt that both succeeded … each in their own way. For Marc Lavoine, it was another woman, Adriana Karembeu, who allowed her. A woman who had declared her flame live in May 2024 on the TV show, 50’Inside. “I am in love with this guy in addition. He doesn’t know! Hush. “ Difficult to make less discreet. The declaration obviously hit the bull’s eye … Four months later, the pretty blonde, ex of the footballer Christian Karembeu and who had then lived a beautiful story with the Aram ohanian businessman, very ostentatiously displayed his feelings for Marc Lavoine on the red carpet of the theater of the Champs-Élysées. Since then, the passion always seems to devour Nina’s mother and the ex -juror of The Voice who never stopped kissing in front of the photographers.

If Line Papin, since this sad spring 2022 who saw his way leaving that of Marc Lavoine, has never appeared to the arm of a new man, She too has probably decided to forget her. If, at first, as she had entrusted it to Paris Match In 2023, it was the sport and swimming that had allowed him, thanks to a daily practice, to “drown (sound) sorrow”, it was once again thanks to the literature that she was able to move on. Prolific author, the young woman was released in March A wavea book which was inspired by a stay in the United States. Questioned by Gala When she left, the young woman had taken the lead. Anticipating yet another question about her relationship with Marc Lavoine, she had dropped: “You will not find my ex in my new novel, each its way.” A clear way of finally close this painful chapter.
